LGBT History Month 2025 – Queer Landmarks of the UK By Dr. Emily Garside

The UK has a rich Queer history-we have LGBTQ+ contributors to history in the form of Alan Turing and Queer creatives like Oscar Wilde and Ivor Novello. And many locations across the country are connected to this history- some well-known, some less so.

Houses and Homes

Places where Queer people have lived are hugely important to history. They are a reminder that queer folks have long existed and often give an insight into their lives. People usually love visiting historic houses to learn about history, and its important queer history is part of this.

Plas Newydd (Denbighshire Wales)

Plas Newydd was the home of the ‘Ladies of Llangollen’ who lived in this house in North Wales from 1778. They were two aristocratic Irish women who then lived in Wales as a couple for 50 years. Their home is now a popular venue for queer women to get married in.

Shibden Hall (Yorkshire, England)

Often called ‘the first modern lesbian,’ Anne Lister was an entrepreneur, landowner, and diarist. Immortalised by the BBC series ‘Gentleman Jack’, which followed a fictionalised version of her adventures and her marriage to Ann Walker. In her diary- discovered many years after her death- we learn about her relationships with women, including Ann Walker, whom she unofficially married. Both Anne and Ann lived at Shibden Hall untill they died. It is now a popular local musuem.

Millthorpe House

Edward Carpenter was the founding father of gay rights in Britain, living openly with his partner George Merrill at a time when hundreds of men were prosecuted for homosexuality. Millthorpe House was a place of pilgrimage for many, including the writers E M Forster and Siegfried Sassoon and other less well-known women and men questioning their sexuality, including soldiers during the First World War. The house in the Peak District was also a testament to Carpenters’ design choices. Now a private residence sadly this histoic icon of Queer history is currently closed to visitors.

Nottingham Castle (Nottingham)

Poet Sir John Clanvowe and Sir William Neville, Constable of Nottingham Castle, were buried together in Istanbul. The men were joined in adelphopoiesis, a Christian ceremony that united two people of the same sex. It was often called ‘wedded brotherhood’ in Chaucer’s ‘The Knight’s Tale.’ Neville and Clanvowe’s coats of arms were combined, as with married couples, so it is commonly accepted that they were a couple.

Pride and Protest!

LGBTQ+ people have had reason to protest for their rights and show pride in their community. Many locations have been really important for this over the years.

Highbury Fields (London)

The first-ever gay rights protest occurred in Highbury Fields in November 1970 following the arrest of Louis Eakes, who was caught in a police entrapment operation. Over 100 members of the Gay Liberation Front held a torchlight rally. It is widely believed that this protest led to the many Pride marches running throughout the UK.

Trafalgar Square (London)

London’s first official Gay Pride Rally was held in 1972, organised by the Gay Liberation Front (GLF). The GLF was formed in 1970 in response to the New York Stonewall riots, and one of the key influences was Ted Brown, a civil rights and LGBTQ+ campaigner. The pride rally started with a march through London, followed by a mass ‘kiss-in’ at Trafalgar Square.

Greenham Common (Newbury)

In a world before dating apps, lesbians often met through activities associated with women’s rights and the peace movement. One meeting place was the women’s peace camp at Greenham Common in the 1970-80s. Established to protest against nuclear cruise missiles, the peace camp also hosted a strong lesbian community, giving the community new visibility in the media that attracted others, especially young women just coming out.

Connections to Queer History

Many spaces connect to queer history – both good and bad, and those places are significant to the community.

The Novello Theatre (London)

The theatre over which Ivor Novello lived for most of his life and for which the theatre was later named. Both the plays and musicals that have been staged there- including the ABBA musical ‘Mama Mia’ and the composer’s history- make it an important place for LGBTQ+ people.

Bletchley Park (Bletchley)

Mathematician Alan Turing is most famous for his work at Bletchley Park during the Second World War, where his work was key to decoding German messages that helped win the war. In 1952, Turing was prosecuted for ‘gross indecency’ in a homosexual relationship, and he later took his own life. He was pardoned for his crime long after he died in 2014, and a law known as ‘Turing’s Law’ pardoned 75,000 others. Bletchley places Turing’s contribution at the front and centre of their exhibitions and does not shy away from the rest of his story. They also have a number of his personal items on display, as well as a £50 banknote with his image on it (the first LGBTQ+ person to be featured on a banknote) with the serial number 1941 (the year his war codebreaking was successful). Turing is embraced as a person by Bletchley, and his LGBTQ+ identity and the tragic impact on his life are included in this.

Woolwich Armory (London)

Lilian Barker was appointed Superintendent of Women Workers at the Woolwich Arsenal in 1916. Here, she oversaw the work and welfare of 30,000 women munitions workers. Before this appointment, Lilian had grown up in Kentish Town and become a teacher; she also ran an innovative youth club in Paddington. Barker lived with her partner Florence Francis for 40 years until the end of their lives.

Now open as a museum in Greenwich, the Armory is a great place to spend a day out.

Craiglockheart Hospital (Edinburgh)

Wilfred Owen knocked at the door of famous war poet Siegfried Sasson to ask him to look at his poems, and they began a relationship that transformed Owen’s creative work.

The Old Bailey (London)

It is the site of Oscar Wilde’s trial, but also where he gave his famous ‘Love that dare not speak its name.’ speech. While Wilde’s trial is a sad moment in LGBTQ+ history, it also is a moment he spoke up for the community at a time of great distress.

Pubs and Clubs

Pubs and clubs have long been essential meeting places for Queer people. Because they were not- and often are not- able to be fully themselves in other spaces, pubs and clubs became spaces to do that. Britain has many gay pubs that have taken on enormous importance in history.

The Royal Vauxhall Tavern/RVT (London)

Internationally known for its ground-breaking alternative cabaret performances, the Royal Vauxhall Tavern has been a hub for the LGBTQ+ community since the 1950s. It was raided many times by the police, often with Drag Queens fighting them off. This included one now infamous story, including Lily Savage, the drag alter ego of Paul O’Grady, who was known for hosting TV shows like Blankety Blank. Lily was a staple at the Royal Vauxhall Tavern, and in 1987, when the police raided the pub wearing rubber gloves (out of fear of AIDS), Lily asked, ‘Oh good are you here to do the washing up?’ the iconic line has gone down in history and is one of the lasting memories of Lily especially following Paul’s death in 2023. The RVT is a listed building due to its importance in Queer history as the oldest surviving LGBTQ+ venue in the UK. Currently, its future hangs somewhat in the balance with its current owners moving on but the hope is that its listed status will help preserve its future as an LGBTQ+ venue and with it, the rich history of the building.

The Admiral Duncan (London)

Though the pub has a long history, it only began to be known as a ‘Gay Pub’ in the 1980s. Before that, it was known as a hangout for sailors and gang members, and on one notable night, Dylan Thomas left his copy of Under Milk Wood there after a drinking binge. However, by the 1980s, its gay identity was firmly established, and it was a popular pub among the many Queer venues in Soho.

On April 30th 1999, The Admiral Duncan was the victim of a nail bomb attack. Three people were killed and seventy-nine injured when the bomb went off in the early evening. It was part of a spate of nail bombs across London, and David Copeland was arrested and charged with the Admiral Duncan bombing and two others in Brick Lane and Brixton. While 140 people were injured throughout three weekends, the only fatalities were at the Admiral Duncan.

Despite the tragedy, some positives did come of the attack. The police team sent to interview witnesses was staffed entirely with LGBTQ+ members of the Metropolitan Police, marking a significant turning point in the previously homophobic attitude of the force and beginning a better relationship with the police in the city. The day after, a spontaneous gathering in Soho was attended by thousands and included a speech from the Police Commissioner.

There is a memorial chandelier in the pub along with a plaque to memorialise those who died and were injured.

The Garrick's Head (Bath)

The first known gay pub in Bath, with a reputation dating back to at least the 1930s. The pub had two bars next to the Bath Theatre Royal, with the side for gay clientele known as The Green Room. Its status as a gay bar was well known, even seen in a 1976 Bath Pubs guide.

Euston Lodge (London)

In the late 1990s, The Glass Bar at Euston Station became popular with the lesbian community. Close to several railway stations, the bar was frequented by locals and out-of-towners alike and hosted women’s groups such as Kiss, a social network for Asian women. To get in, patrons had to knock loud enough to be heard over the noise inside.

The Gateways Chelsea (London)

Opened in the 1930s by a retired colonel, the Gateways Club was the longest-running lesbian nightclub of the 20th century. Gateways became an almost exclusively lesbian club under the management of Gina Ware, and an American ex-airforce woman, Smithy, was herself a lesbian.

Preserving History

Gay's The Word (London)

As the oldest dedicated LGBTQ+ bookshops in the country, Gay’s The Word is a treasure. The shop has everything from young adult fiction to crime and romance and enough non-fiction books to last you through to next year’s Pride month. Many will have learned about Gay’s The Word from the hit film Pride, which told the story of LGSM (Lesbians and Gays Support the Miners). The bookshop served as headquarters for the campaign group, which raised money and support for striking Welsh miners in the Eighties.

The Bishopsgate Institute (London)

Proudly independent since 1895, this Victorian building near Liverpool Street is a cultural venue in the City of London. The Bishopsgate Institute houses the largest LGBTQ+ archive in the world. They also have hosted same-sex dance championships and are home to same-sex dance groups and various LGBTQ+ groups.

LGBT History Month 2025 – Queer Theatre By Dr. Emily Garside.

Queer theatre has always been here. It’s just often had to be…hidden.

We talk about Oscar Wilde and his iconic works, which are considered coded Queer plays. They have Queer undertones, ways of reading them that are Queer but they were never overtly so. This is because they couldn’t be…

Until 1968, British theatre was subject to strict censorship, with the Lord Chamberlain’s office needing to approve all plays for performance. The law claimed to be to protect audiences from ‘ indecent, offensive, or blasphemous content.’ and of course, this included anything with a Queer theme. This often seemed to be a particular focus for law enforcers.

Like Wilde, there were many other Queer theatre artists in the UK, working and achieving remarkable success even against this backdrop. While most were not publicly ‘out’ beyond their circle, we can discern Queer themes in their work. This includes the works of John Gielgud, Noel Coward, Ivor Novello, and Terrence Rattiga, all of whom were gay men.

The publication of the Wolfenden Report in 1957, which recommended the decriminalisation of homosexuality, began to change things for Queer people in the UK, but also for theatre. 1958 a year after the legal change, and Shelagh Delaney’s play A Taste of Honey was performed at Stratford East, marking a watershed moment for Queer theatre. Featuring a gay character, Geof, who was presented sympathetically and without moral judgment or consequences. This representation was a turning point for queer theatre on mainstream stages.

It wasn’t until 1968 that the law in Britain finally permitted Queer topics to be presented on stage. However, this did not immediately create a demand for Queer-themed works in the West End. Instead, Queer artists continued to work in fringe theatre, where they had been active before, but now with a bit more freedom to be overt in their expression, gradually becoming even more explicit.

In a dark twist of dramatic irony, the year 1967 marked both the legalisation of queer theatre and the tragic murder of playwright Joe Orton by his partner. One can only speculate about the queer works we might have experienced from the author of “Loot” and “Entertaining Mr. Sloane” had circumstances been different.

In the 1970s, the UK witnessed the emergence of its first major queer theatre company, the Gay Sweatshop Theatre Company. The company aimed to challenge the prevailing perceptions of homosexuality.

The AIDS pandemic created a new wave of Queer Theatre, angry activism, and memorial combined in one. Things were different in London to the US, where healthcare and government approaches varied. However—the approach used art- specifically theatre- as activism.

The first play produced in Britain to address the AIDS crisis was Louise Parker Kelley’s Anti Body in 1983. The first play in the West End about AIDS was Larry Kramer’s searing activist piece, The Normal Heart. The National Theatre played its part in AIDS activism by being the home of the world premiere of Tony Kushner’s Angels in America, a play they helped develop. That play, in particular, showed solidarity through theatre on both sides of the Atlantic when the National produced it at the same time as the Broadway production. Other plays like Robert Chelsey’s Night Sweat or Janet Hood and Bill Russell’s Elegies for Angels, Punks and Raging Queens catalogued the pandemic and its devastating effect on the community. Later in the mid-1990s, Kevin Elyot’s My Night With Reg took a typically British dark humour approach to the pandemic, too (a play that never really found success in the US for that reason).

The 1990s saw a combination of more ‘mainstream’ imported and successful home-grown works. It saw the London premiere of the iconic Queer musical Jonathan Larson’s Rent, as well as the London premiere of John Guare’s Six Degrees of Separation. These, along with the premiere of Manchester playwright Jonathan Harvey’s Beautiful Thing, showed a gradual ‘mainstreaming’ of Queer theatre in London and regionally. From Wales, Peter Gill was becoming a prominent playwright, with Queer themes present in works like Cardiff East which also had a production at the National Theatre. Meanwhile, the more avant-garde, niche works thrived in places like The Drill Hall, which saw work from performance artists with Queer focus like Djola Bernard Branner, Brian Freeman and Eric Gupton, otherwise known as Pomo Afro Homos (Postmodern African American Homosexuals) – their show Fierce Love played at the venue in 1992.

As we move on into the 2000s, we see a proliferation of Queer theatre companies as artists became more comfortable being themselves on stage and as theatres began to see the commercial viability of Queer works. Above The Stag (founded in 2008) quickly became a hotspot for Queer works, while other venues like the Soho Theatre and Southwark Playhouse also desiccated themselves to LGBTQ+ programming. We saw mainstream plays also on big stages take on LGBTQ themes, including the iconic and hugely successful The History Boys by Alan Bennett- another playwright who previously had been more ‘coded’ in his queer themes was not including Queerness front and centre in his works, demonstrating a shift in attitudes and comfort level of playwrights.

Musicals have begun to truly embrace Queerness on stage, too, not nearly as much for a genre that is by nature camp, but progress is progress. In the 1990s, both Drag-inspired La Cage Aux Folles and AIDS-era Rent struggled with longevity in the West End; however, now British set musicals including Kinky Boots, Everybody’s Talking About Jamie, Death Drop and &Juliet all have thrived in London and on tour and proving that musicals at last, are perhaps embracing their Queer roots.

Where next for Queer theatre? We’re in a strange time where, externally, the politics and conservatism of the world at large seem to feel like a dangerous time for theatre makers getting their voices heard. However, times of adversity also see theatre thrive as a way to raise their voice against that. We had the first Transplaywrightt – Jo Clifford- have a West End play in 2012. And we have an array of Queer writers, composers and performers working in our theatres. So it feels like hope that Queer voices will continue to be raised in British theatre and, of course, produce brilliant entertaining works.

LGBTQ+ Shows to Support this LGBTQ+ History Month

Six TheMusicall- the composer Toby Marlow is Queer and just finished a run of ‘Why Am I So Single’, a show that embraced queerness at its heart. Catch their previous hit in the West End and on Tour.

Starlight Express– while the show previously got ‘camp points, ’ it’s reimagined now with Queer characters (well, Queer trains)

Titanique– included in part for sheer camp Queer value. It’s a full circle of Queer experience when this camp extravaganza can be on a West End stage.

Cabaret—iconic and important, this Berlin-set musical is a true historical warning. However, it also embraces Queerness at its core.

F**cking Men– Joe DiPietro’s iconic play returns for another run; it follows the lives of 10 gay men and is an important slice of Queer history.

Richard II– The Bridge theatre production stars Bridgerton and Wicked’s Johnny Baile but is also known for being one of Shakespeare’s Queerest plays.

3 Things To Do On A Wet Weekend In London By Dewi Evans.

I’m often asked what my favourite things to do in London are on a wet and somewhat miserable day. Usually, I’m off delivering tours whatever the weather, but on the odd occasion when I’m free, which isn’t often, I like to mosey through museums, park myself in a pub, and dive into a good bookstore. To help you find the perfect way to while away the wet weather Tours Of The Uk have asked me to come up with a list of our top 5 things to do in London when it’s raining – which if I’m honest is most of the autumn and winter.

1 – Visit a Museum

London is full of amazing museums that are (usually) free to enter. If you are looking for something historic I highly recommend the British Museum near Holborn Tube Station, which houses an amazing collection of artefacts from across the world including the famous Rosetta Stone. Open 7 days a week between 10.00 and 17.30, with late openings on Fridays until 20.30, the museum was founded in 1753 (partially thanks to Sir Hans Sloane who left his collection of 80,000 artefacts and 50,000 books, prints and manuscripts to the nation (The British Museum, 2020)) the before opening its doors to all studious and curious persons’ in 1759 (The British Museum, 2020).

Another amazing museum to visit is the National Maritime Museum in Greenwich which is part of the Royal Museums Greenwich and also includes attractions such as the Cutty Sark and Royal Observatory (sadly these aren’t free but are well worth a visit if you have the cash!) The National Maritime Museum, like most of the Royal Museums Greenwich are close to both Cutty Sark DLR station and Greenwich train/DLR station and if you are travelling from central London I highly recommend getting the train from Cannon Street to Greenwich as this gives you amazing views over the Thames as the train pulls out of Cannon Street station (sit on the left-hand side in the direction of travel for the best views!) The National Maritime Museum is amazingly kid-friendly, in fact, I would say its one of the most kid-friendly museums in London and my nephew’s highly recommended AHOY! a gallery aimed at under 7’s. I often want to run around exploring the museum’s collections which range from boats to figureheads with child-like abandon, but sadly my inner child loses out to my outer adult! Best of all if the weather dries up you can walk out the back of the National Maritime Museum and up through Greenwich Park towards the Royal Observatory where there are amazing views of London from in front of the statue of General Wolfe. If you are lucky and the weather starts to dry off you might also want to keep your eyes and ears open for the beautiful Ring-Necked Parakeets which have made the park their home – you have to be eagle-eyed to spot them in the trees, and usually, you only catch a glimpse of them as they fly past like a flash of green but if you do get up close and personal with one of them they are some of the most beautiful and amazing animals outside of London Zoo!

Tours of The UK’s Top Tip:

Want to stride the Greenwich Meridian for free? When you reach the top of the hill where General Wolfe’s statue is, keep your eyes peeled for a small gate just below the Royal Observatory (close to the Public Standards of Lenght, and the information about the Time Ball which will be on your left as you look out over Greenwich Park and the National Maritime Museum) go through this gate and you will find a metal line in the floor – this is the Greenwich Meridian! There are usually some clever tourists here taking pictures so its easy to spot but this part of the meridian is usually quieter than the one in the Observatory and every now and then you will be able to get a photo with just you and your loved ones striding the eastern and western hemispheres!

2 – Find a good book(store)

London is jampacked with amazing bookstores! From national chains to small independent booksellers there is a bookstore in London for everyone. Granted how long you can spend in the store depends on its size, how many books you are prepared to carry home on the Tube with you, and if like Foyles on Charring Cross Road the bookstore has a cafe or bar. Foyles is quite easily my favourite of the big bookstores and I have often found myself popping into Foyles to wait for friends only to leave with an arm full of books on subjects I didn’t know I was interested in! Another amazing Bookstore not too far from Foyles is Hatchard on Piccadilly. This bookstore has been selling books since 1797 (Hatchards, 2020) and sell books to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth, and both their Royal Highnesses Prince Philip and Prince Charles (Hatchards, 2020). Not only does this grand wood-lined bookstore have royal connections, indeed the staff have always treated me like royalty when I have bought a book here, it’s also where Sir Winston Churchill bought his books (Lough, 2015) and you can easily imagine the great man lurking over a book in one of its many nooks. Sadly you need to take your purchases away as there is nowhere to stop and read in Hatchards, but if you want to continue with a royal or Churchillian theme Fortnum and Mason and The Ritz are a short walk up the road and you could always (depending on appropriate attire) retire to their cafe with a fine china cup of tea, a cake and of course your newest book. Alternatively, you could cross Piccadilly and read in the cafe of the Royal Academy of Arts situated inside Burlington House or relax in one of many chain coffee shops that line Piccadilly.

My favourite independent bookstore tells you something very personal about me – that I’m gay. Gay’s The Word in Bloomsbury, a short walk from Rusell Square tube station is, for me, a sight of pilgrimage that everyone who identifies as LGBT+ or as an ally of the LGBT+ community should visit if they are in London. Because of its link to the LGBT+ community, Gay’s The Word had an interesting history including police raids and attacks on the store and was even seen in the film “Pride”. It’s a store where you have to shop and then find somewhere nearby to read but there are plenty of amazing bars, cafes and restaurants nearby that easily fit the bill. The thing I love most about Gay’s The Word is that it offers a vital community resource and that it also reminds me of all the best small and independent bookstores that I have visited across the world. Indeed I cant step through the doors of Gay’s The Word without thinking about a visit to Hay-on-Wye, that book lovers mecca, that I took with a friend and his partner when I was in my 20’s which made me fall madly in love with second hand and pre-loved books. On that note, if it’s second hand or pre-loved books that you are looking for then my suggestion is that you head to the Southbank and the underside of Waterloo Bridge where you will often find bookstalls selling a wide variety of books for very reasonable prices. Often I can’t walk past here on a tour without losing someone to an ancient edition of Sherlock Holmes, Dickens or Shakespeare. Finally, if you are staying in or near Angel I highly recommend the Oxfam bookshop on Upper Street, its one of those bookstores that I have to stop in if I am anywhere near Angel as I always find one too many bargains – indeed many of the books I use to write the scripts used to train the Tour Of The UK’s tour guides were bought in this very shop!

3 – Go to the pub!

I always find myself in a pub on a wet and windy day. Indeed this is the best type of day to take our Pub Tour of London as the tour is mostly indoors and they are always warm and dry. Whether your drinking a traditional Ale, a soothing Cider, a warming Red Wine or a Hot Chocolate (yes! We were surprised to find that some pubs do amazing non-alcoholic hot drinks too!) the pubs that I have listed below always have something on offer that will suit almost every drinker.

Ye Olde Swiss Cottage in Swiss Cottage – This pub holds a special place in my heart, as it is where I used to drink when I was at the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama studying my Master of Arts Degree in 2008. Build to look like a Swiss lodge its a great place to sit and relax – often I’ve stopped here for one drink and been there at closing time! Don’t expect to find any well-known brands here, the pub is a Sam Smith’s pub and so they only stock their own (excellent) products. The food here is traditional ‘pub grub’ and I highly recommend the pies. Best of all, if you have been book shopping the pub doesn’t play music (one of my personal gripes with many British pubs!) so as long as you can stand the chatter of the other drinkers you can sit, drink and read until the weather has changed, or last orders….whichever comes first!

The Dog and Duck, Bateman Street, Soho – This amazing Victorian pub has links to the pre-Raphaelite painters, George Orwell and if rumour is to be believed even Madonna! The pub itself is an excellent example of a Victorian Public House, sadly, you will often struggle to get a table in this small, cosy and quaint bar but don’t let that put you off! Often Sunday afternoon/evening is the best time to go for a drink here as this is the time at the weekend when the pub is quietest, and I have spent many a weekend afternoon/evening drinking in the bar with friends. If you are looking for food, there is a dining room upstairs (like in all Nicholson’s pubs) and while the tables are small, I’ve eaten plenty of meals up there with groups of friends who all crowd around a couple of the small round tables.

The Swan at the Globe, Bankside – now this is a controversial choice as most people would argue that the Swan is actually a theatre bar, thanks to the fact that its part of Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre, however, I have often stopped here for drinks, food and on particularly cold days hot drinks (the hot chocolate here is to die for!) without ever stepping foot anywhere near the theatre spaces – and believe me that’s a minor miracle for someone as obsessed with Shakespeare as I am! I personally think the best time to visit The Swan is at night-time, after the theatre shows have started (most shows start at 19.30) and when the bar is a little quieter; although you do get an interval rush this is often short-lived and if you are comfortable at your seat it’s easy to wait it out. The view from the Swan is at its best when its dark as most of the offices on the opposite embankment leave their lights on and it’s easy to pretend you aren’t in the heart of one of the busiest cities on the planet. In the darkness, from the window seats, even the grottiest 1950’s office block on the opposite side of the Thames seems magical as it looks like something out of an urban version of A Midsummer Nights Dream. If you do pop into The Swan make sure you try the Mead (a traditional honey beer with a surprisingly modern twist) and stay, if you can, until after the shows have finished. On the few times that we have been here later in the evening, we have managed to spot a couple of famous faces and if you do feel the urge to say hello I recommend, that if they have been performing that evening, you allow them at least one drink before talking to them as often they will be with friends or family and will want to relax before chatting to their fans.

So that’s my top recommendations for things to do on a wet weekend in London. Did my ideas help? Let Tours of the UK and myself know by tweeting us at @toursoftheuk and @dewi_evans. Got any recommendations of your own? Let Tours of the UK know and we will add a blog on your suggestions in the future.
